3. Nicki Minaj

8. Nicki Minaj comes in at number eight on our Queens of Pop countdown.

4. Madonna

7. Next up on our countdown is the original Queen of Pop... it's Madonna!

One thing for certain is that Madge is here to stay.

5. Katy Perry

6. Next up on our Queens of Pop list is 'California Gurls' singer Katy Perry. Since shocking the world with her 2008 debut single 'I Kissed A Girl' Katy's popularity has continued to grow over the years and her sophomore album 'Teenage Dream' led her to become the first woman to have five singles from one album top the US Billboard Top 100 chart.

6. Adele

5. Up next on our countdown is critical darling Adele. 2011 was undoubtedly the year of Adele following the release of her critically, and commercially, successful album '21', which has topped charts worldwide and led her to receive countless awards for favourites like 'Rolling In The Deep' and 'Someone Like You'.

8. Jessie J

3. Kicking off the top three is a singer who has made a name for herself as one of the most exciting names in British music in only just over a year's time. 'Domino' singer Jessie has earned a legion of fans, called Heartbeats, as well as a spot judging on BBC talent series The Voice UK and is set to kick off her first arena tour next year.
